I am always looking for interesting connections and coincidences – Burroughs built instruction manuals into his fiction … ways for seeing the world. Like watching a tv show where an agent is going under cover and getting Nazi tattoos while reading about social media platforms having problems with Nazis and not appearing like tyrants. And… Read More Sunday

I haven’t really done one of these for a second – some times I am focused on the writing, and sometimes I am focused on the process of writing, and want to unpack the whole thing for people. This week I have been world-building, and it involved a fair amount of research – it is… Read More Tuesday

It is interesting several different parts of a larger universe at the same time, because you drop a pebble in one pool and echoes in the magic mirror of another. You reach a point where stories start to suggest themselves, and ideas which have fallen through the cracks before bubble to the surface. I think… Read More Saturday

I probably have to make my piece with the fact that although regularity is the aim, there are some difficulties in achieving the goal when I have competing goals that demand more attention. They are all pulling in the same direction, so it’s not all bad. I was reading that journaling is a pretty useful… Read More Wednesday

It is interesting to me how much damned time with my writing and creative works is dedicated to administration. Some of this has been created by the fact that I write so damned much, have so many projects in a state of non-completion, and am intent to actually bring them home. Ambition is also codified… Read More Friday

The weekend was defined by welcoming a new cat to the house. A tiny little bundle of fur and temporary fury called Miracle, who is a beautiful tortoise-shell.

It’s the morning – and I am awake a hell of a lot earlier than I intended to be. Well, partly true. I knew I had to be awake, but my Saturday morning sleep is kind of the necessary energy recoup point of my week. I tend to be low energy most of the week… Read More Saturday

Some weeks you burn through. And you feel in some ways you get little done you were aiming for. I am not sure about this week, because there were some targets met, but there were a few missed. It seems to split evenly between admin and site creation and actual writing at the moment. What… Read More Friday

Sunday is a good day for television. American Gods hits with a new episode, and then later on it’s Twin Peaks. It’s going to be interesting to see how the whole thing with Agent Cooper’s distributed consciousness body situation resolves itself … it’s one aspect I’d like to see resolved fairly soon. I’m sure the pay… Read More Sunday

I talk about it a lot, and for those few who follow me around, wherever that may lead them … and I know there are a few – the notion that I have a lot of irons in the fie is not something new. Sometimes I will name a project and let it slip into… Read More Thursday
